Join Friends of the Rappahannock (FOR) July 10 for a moonlight paddle on the Rappahannock River.

Float in kayaks from Old Mill Park to City Dock with trip leader Michelle McGinley and learn about local ecology and how the river has influenced American history.

Meet at City Dock (207 Sophia Street) in downtown Fredericksburg at 7:30 p.m. and be shuttled up to Old Mill Park for the launch.

The paddle will end at City Dock about 10 p.m. Bring snacks, water, bug spray and flashlights. FOR provides kayaks and safety gear. The minimum age is 12 years, and some paddling experience is helpful. The backup date is the next day.

The cost is $35 individual/$105 per family of four ($28/$84 for FOR members).
